Depends on what you mean here. Britney2 for pu->stable is configure to 
retry in a similar way as unstable->testing. As stable doesn't change 
that much references are valid for 15 day while in testing validity is 7 
days.

The last reference ran on 31 October and the history of the package was 
very good, hence it didn't occur to me to retry. Thanks.

But this was a single incident and on retry that passed.

The older history in s390x doesn't suggest that though. So this looks 
like fresh flakiness. Sorry for not considering that option.
